The program is a series of six classes designed to prepare you for new parenthood. The classes focus on the things we think about most leading up to the birth of a child: sleep, nutrition, infant feeding, and safety (including infant and child CPR), and emotional health and wellbeing in the early months after your birth. Each session you’ll meet a new expert, professionals you can lean on once your baby is born. You'll also have an opportunity to connect and meet with other families -- having a support system is critical during those early months and years.
Individual Courses: Infant and Caregiver Sleep, Infant Feeding, Nutrition during the Perinatal Period, Emotional Wellness Planning, Infant/Child CPR, FAQs and Birth Planning with a Community Doula, FAQs and Birth Planning with a Community OB-GYN. There will also be an opening session and closing session with other community experts.
Additionally, we want to help prepare your home for your new baby! We will be raffling off gift cards and/or baby items at each class. At the last session, we will be gifting one family a large baby item (e.g., stroller, car seat, etc). As such, attendance at each session is encouraged!
